THE REVIEW

VIDEOTAPE - Doggy Door

Eyes closed. Headphones. Volume at maximum. I'm inside Doggy Door. I find myself at an afternoon pool party. I have an icy cocktail in my hand, the sun is high. Scorching hot. The water is fresh and sparkling and my mind relaxes, ready and eager to listen. A smile comes across my face, my legs can't stay still, and I let myself be enveloped by the warm sound that unexpectedly lifts me up in a dreamy whirl, an almost psychedelic succession of unsettling emotions.

The first track, "Surf Now Apocalypse Later," seems like a prelude to what will happen in the following 10 minutes, and the desire to know how it will evolve increases. From light to the depths of the abyss, in the sweetest and at the same time most sensual way I could ever imagine. "Sugar Wave" gets inside you, dazing you. The wave flows away at the sunset of the last summer day. "The Last Day of Summer" holds within it that continuous and latent feeling of being close to the ocean, you brush against it, it brushes against you. You feel its call… High waves, fresh wind in your hair, a hint of melancholy that invades the soul. The tension begins to rise, forcefully breaking the sensation of emotional daze. "Doggy Door" is the apotheosis, a sensual and free dance. The heartbeat, the vastness of the night and the ocean merged together, around you… feeling it with your eyes closed, it seems like swimming in it, sometimes free, sometimes with the board under your chest, ready to rise to the next wave... Impossible to stay still. Desire to dance endlessly. Accumulated sexual and "emotional" tension explodes. "Feel me Now" is intense. A testament of love to My Bloody Valentine. An album closing in grand style. I open my eyes. Ah, it's only April... I could have sworn it was already midsummer!

Already a collaborator with the Corner Shop with his stunning remix of "Primitive Boogie" featured in their compilation "Snap Yr Cookies" (Ample Play), which recalls the atmospheres of "Up in Flames" by Manitoba aka Caribou, rather than the sounds of Washed Out. "To our ears VideoTape's remix sounds bellissimo," says Société Perrier. Currently, he is working on a concept album about the moon….
